'''Administrators''' are [[Gaming Library]]ns who have "''sysop rights''".
Current [[Gaming Library]] policy is to appoint new admins when it is felt that the current number of admins is insufficient. Administrators are chosen from Gaming Library contributors who are active and who have been around for a while and are generally known and trusted members of the community.

'''This page is currently undergoing workification to remove links to Wikipedia and associate more links with this wiki.'''

==[[Special:ListUsers/sysop|List of administrators]]==

===Bureaucrats===

===Administrators===


==So, what's the deal?==
The Wiki software has a few important features that are restricted. Of those restricted features, administrators have access to the following.

===Protected pages===
*Directly edit [[:Category:Protected|protected pages]]. For information and guidelines, see [[Help:Page protection|Gaming Library:Editing protected pages]].
*Protect and unprotect pages. Pages are only protected in certain rare circumstances&amp;mdash;for information and guidelines, see [[Gaming Library:Protection policy]].

===Deletion and undeletion===
*Delete pages and their history. For information and guidelines, see [[Gaming Library:Deletion policy]]. To suggest a page to delete ('''after''' reading the policy and guidelines pages!). Sometimes deletion is a technical matter, in which a redirection page has to be removed to make way for renaming an article, or a page whose history has been broken up has to be deleted and the pieces recombined. Other times it's a matter of cleaning up simple junk edits on pages with no actual content, or removing material that has been pasted in from another site and infringes [[Gaming Library:Copyrights|copyright]].
*View and restore deleted pages and their history. 
*Permanently delete images. This is a non-reversible change: once deleted, always deleted. For information and guidelines, see [[Gaming Library:Images]]. To suggest an image to delete (after reading the policy), see [[Gaming Library:Images and media for deletion]]. To challenge a decision to delete an image, make sure that you still have a copy of the image (else there is no way to restore it), please contact one of the [[Gaming Library:Staff|Staff]]. Note that there is no particular reason that image deletion should not be reversible; this is simply the way the software works at present.

===Reverting===
*[[Help:Reverting|Revert]] pages quickly. Any user (logged-in or not) can revert a page to an earlier version.  Administrators have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism by anonymous editors.  When looking at a user's contributions, a link that looks like: [&lt;span style="color:#002bb8; text-decoration:underline"&gt;rollback&lt;/span&gt;] &amp;ndash; appears next to edits that are at the top of the edit history. Clicking on the link reverts to the last edit not authored by that user, with [[Wikipedia:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] ''(Reverted edits by X (Talk); changed back to last version by Y)'' and marks it as a minor change. In a fairly recent change, admins can also rapidly revert changes when viewing a diff.

===Hiding vandalism from recent changes===
*Sysops can hide vandalism from [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]. To do this, add &lt;tt&gt;&amp;bot=1&lt;/tt&gt; to the end of the URL used to access a user's contributions. For example, &lt;nowiki&gt;http://en.Wookieepedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&amp;target=Michael&amp;bot=1&lt;/nowiki&gt;. When the rollback links on the contributions list are clicked, the revert and the original edit that you are reverting will both be hidden from the default recent changes display (by using the marker originally added to keep massive bot edits from flooding recent changes, hence the "bot").  This means that they will be hidden from recent changes unless you click the "bots" link to set &lt;tt&gt;hidebots=0&lt;/tt&gt;. The edits are not hidden from contributions lists, page histories or watchlists. The edits remain in the database and are not removed, but they no longer flood recent changes. The aim of this feature is to reduce the annoyance factor of a flood vandal with relatively little effort. This should '''not''' be used for reverting a change you just don't like, but is meant only for simple vandalism, particularly massive flood vandalism.

===Block and unblock===
* Block IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts, for a specific time, or indefinitely.
* Unblock IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.
* See [[Gaming Library:Blocking policy]] for more information on when blocks are appropriate and when they are not. See [[Special:BlockList]] for currently blocked addresses and usernames

===Design and wording of the interface===
* As of December 6, [[2003]], sysops can change the ''text'' of the interface by editing the pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. This includes the text at the top of pages such as the "Special:WhatLinksHere" and the page that a blocked user will see when they try to edit a page ([[MediaWiki:Blockedtext]]).
* As of June 3, [[2004]], sysops can edit the ''style'' of the interface by changing the [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] in the monobook stylesheet at [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]].

===Consensus Track===
With regards to the process of [[Gaming Library:Help Desk|Help Desk]] forums which are discussed and debated among the entire community, it is the responsibility of administrators both to provide input on consensus track threads, as well as closing the threads when they are finished.

Two weeks is provided as a minimum time frame for thread length, though a thread should only be closed if it is clear that a consensus has been reached, or if no consensus has been reached and the thread has not been edited by a vote-eligible Wookieepedian in five days after at least two weeks of being active. Also, for threads closed by section (some of the MOS ones, for example), each section would have to be dormant for five days after a minimum of two weeks in order to be closed, not necessarily the entire forum. If that makes sense. These length guidelines do not apply to CSD threads. This lack of activity and consensus is an indication that a community agreement is not forthcoming. Should a thread be closed, it is the responsibility of the administration to properly address the result of the thread and apply it to the site and its policies as need be.

For consensus to be achieved, a minimum of ten Wookieepedians must contribute a vote or statement. Consensus track threads with 10-16 voters will need a 3 to 1 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with 17 to 24 voters will need a 5 to 2 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with more than 25 votes can be passed by a 2:1 ratio of votes/opinions posted on the thread.

Additionally, it is regarded as bad form and against proper practice to close a consensus track thread in which an individual administrator has been heavily involved, though all consensus track closings fall under administrative discretion.

===Responsibilities===
Administrators should keep an eye on the following pages to help keep the wiki "cleaned up" and running the way it should.  Administrators are expected to play an active role in helping out on any or all of these pages.

*'''[[Special:LonelyPages|Orphaned pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedCategories|Uncategorized categories]]'''
*'''[[Special:UnusedFiles|Unused images]]'''
*'''[[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:Deadendpages|Dead-end pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:NewPages|New pages]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for compliance with [[Wookieepedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]
*'''[[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for vandalism; ban appropriately

==Becoming an administrator==
{{Main|Gaming Library:Requests for user rights}}
It's recommended that you write for Gaming Library for at least seven months before requesting administrator status, since other users will have to recognize you before they can agree on your promotion. As part of the rulings decided at [[Gaming Library:CT Archive/Admin Age]] all potential candidates are required to be either of adult age (18+) or have at least one and a half years' experience of consistent, quality editing to the site. Underaged candidates will be removed and not considered if they try to apply for sysop access. 

'''Be careful, please!'''
If you are granted access, we ask that you exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history, to delete images, and the ability to block IP addresses. You can learn about your newfound powers at the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' how-to guide]]'''. You should also take a look at the pages linked from the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' reading list|Administrators' reading list]]''' before using any of your sysop abilities.

'''Note: Abusive admins will have his/her rights removed immediately if they don't follow policy and is abusive to fellow contributors. You will not receive any further warnings if users complain nor will the right be returned.'''

==Extended leaves of absence==
In the event that an administrator enter into a protracted absence from the wiki, some form of explanation, be it even a simple "I'm taking a break" or {{Tl|vacation}} template, is desired. In the absence of any explanation, if an administrator does not edit or use admin tools for four months or more, the following steps are to be taken outside of the [[Gaming Library:Requests for removal of user rights|RFRA]] process:

&lt;br /&gt;
{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="font-size: 85%; border: gray solid 1px; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center; width: 85%"
!style="background: #ececec;"| Length of absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 4 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 5 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 6 months' absence
|-
|Action taken|| attempts to communicate will be made|| warning that removal will occur at 6 months|| Bureaucrat will remove sysops
|}
&lt;br /&gt;

Likewise, in order to maintain their sysop rights administrators are required to make '''at least''' 50 mainspace edits in any six month span, excepting prior explanation of inactivity.

Note that these rules also apply to [[Gaming Library:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] and users with [[Gaming Library:Rollback|Rollback]].

==Other access types==
In addition to administrators, there are other types of identified users, listed here in roughly ascending order of power. (Administrators, clearly, go after users with rollback.)

===Signed-in users===
Users with ordinary access, including visitors who haven't "signed in," can still do most things, including the most important: editing articles and helping with [[Gaming Library:Things to do|Gaming Library maintenance tasks]].

But only signed-up users can [[Gaming Library:Images|upload files]] or [[Help:Moving pages|rename pages]]; see [[Special:UserLogin]] to sign up for yourself.

===Rollback===
Users with the [[Gaming Library:Rollback|rollback]] have the ability to use and have a rollback button without making them administrators. The rollback button is a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism.

===Bureaucrats===
Users with "[[Gaming Library:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]" status can turn other users into sysops. Bureaucrats are created by other bureaucrats on projects where these exist, or by Shoutwiki staff on those who don't yet have one. Sysoppings are recorded in [[Special:Log/rights]].

===Staff===
Some Shoutwiki staff members have full access to all wikis. They will be shown in [[Special:ListUsers/staff]] on any wiki. Please see [[Special:Contact|contact us]] for details on how to contact Shoutwiki staff.

'''Administrators''' are [[Gaming Library]]ns who have "''sysop rights''".
Current [[Gaming Library]] policy is to appoint new admins when it is felt that the current number of admins is insufficient. Administrators are chosen from Gaming Library contributors who are active and who have been around for a while and are generally known and trusted members of the community.

'''This page is currently undergoing workification to remove links to Wikipedia and associate more links with this wiki.'''

==[[Special:ListUsers/sysop|List of administrators]]==

===Bureaucrats===

===Administrators===


==So, what's the deal?==
The Wiki software has a few important features that are restricted. Of those restricted features, administrators have access to the following.

===Protected pages===
*Directly edit [[:Category:Protected|protected pages]]. For information and guidelines, see [[Help:Page protection|Gaming Library:Editing protected pages]].
*Protect and unprotect pages. Pages are only protected in certain rare circumstances&amp;mdash;for information and guidelines, see [[Gaming Library:Protection policy]].

===Deletion and undeletion===
*Delete pages and their history. For information and guidelines, see [[Gaming Library:Deletion policy]]. To suggest a page to delete ('''after''' reading the policy and guidelines pages!). Sometimes deletion is a technical matter, in which a redirection page has to be removed to make way for renaming an article, or a page whose history has been broken up has to be deleted and the pieces recombined. Other times it's a matter of cleaning up simple junk edits on pages with no actual content, or removing material that has been pasted in from another site and infringes [[Gaming Library:Copyrights|copyright]].
*View and restore deleted pages and their history. 
*Permanently delete images. This is a non-reversible change: once deleted, always deleted. For information and guidelines, see [[Gaming Library:Images]]. To suggest an image to delete (after reading the policy), see [[Gaming Library:Images and media for deletion]]. To challenge a decision to delete an image, make sure that you still have a copy of the image (else there is no way to restore it), please contact one of the [[Gaming Library:Staff|Staff]]. Note that there is no particular reason that image deletion should not be reversible; this is simply the way the software works at present.

===Reverting===
*[[Help:Reverting|Revert]] pages quickly. Any user (logged-in or not) can revert a page to an earlier version.  Administrators have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism by anonymous editors.  When looking at a user's contributions, a link that looks like: [&lt;span style="color:#002bb8; text-decoration:underline"&gt;rollback&lt;/span&gt;] &amp;ndash; appears next to edits that are at the top of the edit history. Clicking on the link reverts to the last edit not authored by that user, with [[Wikipedia:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] ''(Reverted edits by X (Talk); changed back to last version by Y)'' and marks it as a minor change. In a fairly recent change, admins can also rapidly revert changes when viewing a diff.

===Hiding vandalism from recent changes===
*Sysops can hide vandalism from [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]. To do this, add &lt;tt&gt;&amp;bot=1&lt;/tt&gt; to the end of the URL used to access a user's contributions. For example, &lt;nowiki&gt;http://en.Wookieepedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&amp;target=Michael&amp;bot=1&lt;/nowiki&gt;. When the rollback links on the contributions list are clicked, the revert and the original edit that you are reverting will both be hidden from the default recent changes display (by using the marker originally added to keep massive bot edits from flooding recent changes, hence the "bot").  This means that they will be hidden from recent changes unless you click the "bots" link to set &lt;tt&gt;hidebots=0&lt;/tt&gt;. The edits are not hidden from contributions lists, page histories or watchlists. The edits remain in the database and are not removed, but they no longer flood recent changes. The aim of this feature is to reduce the annoyance factor of a flood vandal with relatively little effort. This should '''not''' be used for reverting a change you just don't like, but is meant only for simple vandalism, particularly massive flood vandalism.

===Block and unblock===
* Block IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts, for a specific time, or indefinitely.
* Unblock IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.
* See [[Gaming Library:Blocking policy]] for more information on when blocks are appropriate and when they are not. See [[Special:BlockList]] for currently blocked addresses and usernames

===Design and wording of the interface===
* As of December 6, 2003, sysops can change the ''text'' of the interface by editing the pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. This includes the text at the top of pages such as the "Special:WhatLinksHere" and the page that a blocked user will see when they try to edit a page ([[MediaWiki:Blockedtext]]).
* As of June 3, 2004, sysops can edit the ''style'' of the interface by changing the [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] in the monobook stylesheet at [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]].

===Consensus Track===
With regards to the process of [[Gaming Library:Help Desk|Help Desk]] forums which are discussed and debated among the entire community, it is the responsibility of administrators both to provide input on consensus track threads, as well as closing the threads when they are finished.

Two weeks is provided as a minimum time frame for thread length, though a thread should only be closed if it is clear that a consensus has been reached, or if no consensus has been reached and the thread has not been edited by a vote-eligible Wookieepedian in five days after at least two weeks of being active. Also, for threads closed by section (some of the MOS ones, for example), each section would have to be dormant for five days after a minimum of two weeks in order to be closed, not necessarily the entire forum. If that makes sense. These length guidelines do not apply to CSD threads. This lack of activity and consensus is an indication that a community agreement is not forthcoming. Should a thread be closed, it is the responsibility of the administration to properly address the result of the thread and apply it to the site and its policies as need be.

For consensus to be achieved, a minimum of ten Wookieepedians must contribute a vote or statement. Consensus track threads with 10-16 voters will need a 3 to 1 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with 17 to 24 voters will need a 5 to 2 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with more than 25 votes can be passed by a 2:1 ratio of votes/opinions posted on the thread.

Additionally, it is regarded as bad form and against proper practice to close a consensus track thread in which an individual administrator has been heavily involved, though all consensus track closings fall under administrative discretion.

===Responsibilities===
Administrators should keep an eye on the following pages to help keep the wiki "cleaned up" and running the way it should.  Administrators are expected to play an active role in helping out on any or all of these pages.

*'''[[Special:LonelyPages|Orphaned pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedCategories|Uncategorized categories]]'''
*'''[[Special:UnusedFiles|Unused images]]'''
*'''[[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:Deadendpages|Dead-end pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:NewPages|New pages]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for compliance with [[Wookieepedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]
*'''[[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for vandalism; ban appropriately

==Becoming an administrator==
It's recommended that you write for Gaming Library for at least seven months before requesting administrator status, since other users will have to recognize you before they can agree on your promotion. As part of the rulings decided at [[Gaming Library:CT Archive/Admin Age]] all potential candidates are required to be either of adult age (18+) or have at least one and a half years' experience of consistent, quality editing to the site. Underaged candidates will be removed and not considered if they try to apply for sysop access. 

'''Be careful, please!'''
If you are granted access, we ask that you exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history, to delete images, and the ability to block IP addresses. You can learn about your newfound powers at the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' how-to guide]]'''. You should also take a look at the pages linked from the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' reading list|Administrators' reading list]]''' before using any of your sysop abilities.

'''Note: Abusive admins will have his/her rights removed immediately if they don't follow policy and is abusive to fellow contributors. You will not receive any further warnings if users complain nor will the right be returned.'''

==Extended leaves of absence==
In the event that an administrator enter into a protracted absence from the wiki, some form of explanation, be it even a simple "I'm taking a break" or {{Tl|vacation}} template, is desired. In the absence of any explanation, if an administrator does not edit or use admin tools for four months or more, the following steps are to be taken outside of the [[Gaming Library:Requests for removal of user rights|RFRA]] process:

&lt;br /&gt;
{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="font-size: 85%; border: gray solid 1px; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center; width: 85%"
!style="background: #ececec;"| Length of absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 4 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 5 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 6 months' absence
|-
|Action taken|| attempts to communicate will be made|| warning that removal will occur at 6 months|| Bureaucrat will remove sysops
|}
&lt;br /&gt;

Likewise, in order to maintain their sysop rights administrators are required to make '''at least''' 50 mainspace edits in any six month span, excepting prior explanation of inactivity.

Note that these rules also apply to [[Gaming Library:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] and users with [[Gaming Library:Rollback|Rollback]].

==Other access types==
In addition to administrators, there are other types of identified users, listed here in roughly ascending order of power. (Administrators, clearly, go after users with rollback.)

===Signed-in users===
Users with ordinary access, including visitors who haven't "signed in," can still do most things, including the most important: editing articles and helping with [[Gaming Library:Things to do|Gaming Library maintenance tasks]].

But only signed-up users can [[Gaming Library:Images|upload files]] or [[Help:Moving pages|rename pages]]; see [[Special:UserLogin]] to sign up for yourself.

===Rollback===
Users with the [[Gaming Library:Rollback|rollback]] have the ability to use and have a rollback button without making them administrators. The rollback button is a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism.

===Bureaucrats===
Users with "[[Gaming Library:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]" status can turn other users into sysops. Bureaucrats are created by other bureaucrats on projects where these exist, or by Shoutwiki staff on those who don't yet have one. Sysoppings are recorded in [[Special:Log/rights]].

===Staff===
Some Shoutwiki staff members have full access to all wikis. They will be shown in [[Special:ListUsers/staff]] on any wiki. Please see [[Special:Contact|contact us]] for details on how to contact Shoutwiki staff.

As part of the rulings decided at [[Gaming Library:CT Archive/Admin Age]] all potential candidates are required to be either of adult age (18+) or have at least one and a half years' experience of consistent, quality editing to the site. Underaged candidates will be removed and not considered if they try to apply for sysop access. 

'''Be careful, please!'''
If you are granted access, we ask that you exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history, to delete images, and the ability to block IP addresses. You can learn about your newfound powers at the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' how-to guide]]'''. You should also take a look at the pages linked from the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' reading list|Administrators' reading list]]''' before using any of your sysop abilities.

'''Note: Abusive admins will have his/her rights removed immediately if they don't follow policy and is abusive to fellow contributors. You will not receive any further warnings if users complain nor will the right be returned.'''

==Extended leaves of absence==
In the event that an administrator enter into a protracted absence from the wiki, some form of explanation, be it even a simple "I'm taking a break", is desired. In the absence of any explanation, if an administrator does not edit or use admin tools for four months or more, the following steps are to be taken outside of the [[Gaming Library:Requests for removal of user rights|RFRA]] process:

&lt;br /&gt;
{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="font-size: 85%; border: gray solid 1px; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center; width: 85%"
!style="background: #ececec;"| Length of absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 4 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 5 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 6 months' absence
|-
|Action taken|| attempts to communicate will be made|| warning that removal will occur at 6 months|| Bureaucrat will remove sysops
|}
&lt;br /&gt;

Likewise, in order to maintain their sysop rights administrators are required to make '''at least''' 50 mainspace edits in any six month span, excepting prior explanation of inactivity.

Note that these rules also apply to [[Gaming Library:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] and users with [[Gaming Library:Rollback|Rollback]].

==Other access types==
In addition to administrators, there are other types of identified users, listed here in roughly ascending order of power. (Administrators, clearly, go after users with rollback.)

===Signed-in users===
Users with ordinary access, including visitors who haven't "signed in," can still do most things, including the most important: editing articles and helping with [[Gaming Library:Things to do|Gaming Library maintenance tasks]].

But only signed-up users can [[Gaming Library:Images|upload files]] or [[Help:Moving pages|rename pages]]; see [[Special:UserLogin]] to sign up for yourself.

===Rollback===
Users with the [[Gaming Library:Rollback|rollback]] have the ability to use and have a rollback button without making them administrators. The rollback button is a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism.

===Bureaucrats===
Users with "[[Gaming Library:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]" status can turn other users into sysops. Bureaucrats are created by other bureaucrats on projects where these exist, or by Shoutwiki staff on those who don't yet have one. Sysoppings are recorded in [[Special:Log/rights]].

===Staff===
Some Shoutwiki staff members have full access to all wikis. They will be shown in [[Special:ListUsers/staff]] on any wiki. Please see [[Special:Contact|contact us]] for details on how to contact Shoutwiki staff.

'''Administrators''' are [[Gaming Library]]ns who have "''sysop rights''".
Current [[Gaming Library]] policy is to appoint new admins when it is felt that the current number of admins is insufficient. Administrators are chosen from Gaming Library contributors who are active and who have been around for a while and are generally known and trusted members of the community.

'''This page is currently undergoing workification to remove links to Wikipedia and associate more links with this wiki.'''

==[[Special:ListUsers/sysop|List of administrators]]==

===Bureaucrats===

===Administrators===


==So, what's the deal?==
The Wiki software has a few important features that are restricted. Of those restricted features, administrators have access to the following.

===Protected pages===
*Directly edit [[:Category:Protected|protected pages]]. 
*Protect and unprotect pages. Pages are only protected in certain rare circumstances.

===Reverting===
*[[s:Help:Reverting|Revert]] pages quickly. Any user (logged-in or not) can revert a page to an earlier version.  Administrators have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism by anonymous editors.  When looking at a user's contributions, a link that looks like: [&lt;span style="color:#002bb8; text-decoration:underline"&gt;rollback&lt;/span&gt;] &amp;ndash; appears next to edits that are at the top of the edit history. Clicking on the link reverts to the last edit not authored by that user, with [[Wikipedia:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] ''(Reverted edits by X (Talk); changed back to last version by Y)'' and marks it as a minor change. In a fairly recent change, admins can also rapidly revert changes when viewing a diff.

===Hiding vandalism from recent changes===
*Sysops can hide vandalism from [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]. To do this, add &lt;tt&gt;&amp;bot=1&lt;/tt&gt; to the end of the URL used to access a user's contributions. For example, &lt;nowiki&gt;http://en.Wookieepedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&amp;target=Michael&amp;bot=1&lt;/nowiki&gt;. When the rollback links on the contributions list are clicked, the revert and the original edit that you are reverting will both be hidden from the default recent changes display (by using the marker originally added to keep massive bot edits from flooding recent changes, hence the "bot").  This means that they will be hidden from recent changes unless you click the "bots" link to set &lt;tt&gt;hidebots=0&lt;/tt&gt;. The edits are not hidden from contributions lists, page histories or watchlists. The edits remain in the database and are not removed, but they no longer flood recent changes. The aim of this feature is to reduce the annoyance factor of a flood vandal with relatively little effort. This should '''not''' be used for reverting a change you just don't like, but is meant only for simple vandalism, particularly massive flood vandalism.

===Block and unblock===
* Block IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts, for a specific time, or indefinitely.
* Unblock IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.

===Design and wording of the interface===
* As of December 6, 2003, sysops can change the ''text'' of the interface by editing the pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. This includes the text at the top of pages such as the "Special:WhatLinksHere" and the page that a blocked user will see when they try to edit a page ([[MediaWiki:Blockedtext]]).
* As of June 3, 2004, sysops can edit the ''style'' of the interface by changing the [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] in the monobook stylesheet at [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]].

===Consensus Track===
With regards to the process of [[Gaming Library:Help Desk|Help Desk]] forums which are discussed and debated among the entire community, it is the responsibility of administrators both to provide input on consensus track threads, as well as closing the threads when they are finished.

Two weeks is provided as a minimum time frame for thread length, though a thread should only be closed if it is clear that a consensus has been reached, or if no consensus has been reached and the thread has not been edited by a vote-eligible Gaming Libraryns in five days after at least two weeks of being active. Also, for threads closed by section (some of the MOS ones, for example), each section would have to be dormant for five days after a minimum of two weeks in order to be closed, not necessarily the entire forum. If that makes sense. These length guidelines do not apply to CSD threads. This lack of activity and consensus is an indication that a community agreement is not forthcoming. Should a thread be closed, it is the responsibility of the administration to properly address the result of the thread and apply it to the site and its policies as need be.

For consensus to be achieved, a minimum of ten Gaming Libraryns must contribute a vote or statement. Consensus track threads with 10-16 voters will need a 3 to 1 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with 17 to 24 voters will need a 5 to 2 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with more than 25 votes can be passed by a 2:1 ratio of votes/opinions posted on the thread.

Additionally, it is regarded as bad form and against proper practice to close a consensus track thread in which an individual administrator has been heavily involved, though all consensus track closings fall under administrative discretion.

===Responsibilities===
Administrators should keep an eye on the following pages to help keep the wiki "cleaned up" and running the way it should.  Administrators are expected to play an active role in helping out on any or all of these pages.

*'''[[Special:LonelyPages|Orphaned pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedCategories|Uncategorized categories]]'''
*'''[[Special:UnusedFiles|Unused images]]'''
*'''[[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:Deadendpages|Dead-end pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:NewPages|New pages]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for compliance with [[Wookieepedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]
*'''[[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for vandalism; ban appropriately

With regards to the process of [[Gaming Library:Help Desk|Help Desk]] forums which are discussed and debated among the entire community, it is the responsibility of administrators both to provide input on consensus track threads, as well as closing the threads when they are finished.

Two weeks is provided as a minimum time frame for thread length, though a thread should only be closed if it is clear that a consensus has been reached, or if no consensus has been reached and the thread has not been edited by a vote-eligible Gaming Libraryns in five days after at least two weeks of being active. Also, for threads closed by section (some of the MOS ones, for example), each section would have to be dormant for five days after a minimum of two weeks in order to be closed, not necessarily the entire forum. If that makes sense. These length guidelines do not apply to CSD threads. This lack of activity and consensus is an indication that a community agreement is not forthcoming. Should a thread be closed, it is the responsibility of the administration to properly address the result of the thread and apply it to the site and its policies as need be.

For consensus to be achieved, a minimum of ten Gaming Libraryns must contribute a vote or statement. Consensus track threads with 10-16 voters will need a 3 to 1 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with 17 to 24 voters will need a 5 to 2 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with more than 25 votes can be passed by a 2:1 ratio of votes/opinions posted on the thread.

Additionally, it is regarded as bad form and against proper practice to close a consensus track thread in which an individual administrator has been heavily involved, though all consensus track closings fall under administrative discretion.

===Responsibilities===
Administrators should keep an eye on the following pages to help keep the wiki "cleaned up" and running the way it should.  Administrators are expected to play an active role in helping out on any or all of these pages.

*'''[[Special:LonelyPages|Orphaned pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedCategories|Uncategorized categories]]'''
*'''[[Special:UnusedFiles|Unused images]]'''
*'''[[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:Deadendpages|Dead-end pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:NewPages|New pages]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for compliance with [[Wookieepedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]
*'''[[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for vandalism; ban appropriately

==Becoming an administrator==
It's recommended that you write for Gaming Library for at least seven months before requesting administrator status, since other users will have to recognize you before they can agree on your promotion. As part of the rulings decided at [[Gaming Library:CT Archive/Admin Age]] all potential candidates are required to be either of adult age (18+) or have at least one and a half years' experience of consistent, quality editing to the site. Underaged candidates will be removed and not considered if they try to apply for sysop access. 

'''Be careful, please!'''
If you are granted access, we ask that you exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history, to delete images, and the ability to block IP addresses. You can learn about your newfound powers at the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' how-to guide]]'''. You should also take a look at the pages linked from the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' reading list|Administrators' reading list]]''' before using any of your sysop abilities.

'''Note: Abusive admins will have his/her rights removed immediately if they don't follow policy and is abusive to fellow contributors. You will not receive any further warnings if users complain nor will the right be returned.'''

==Extended leaves of absence==
In the event that an administrator enter into a protracted absence from the wiki, some form of explanation, be it even a simple "I'm taking a break", is desired. In the absence of any explanation, if an administrator does not edit or use admin tools for four months or more, the following steps are to be taken outside of the [[Gaming Library:Requests for removal of user rights|RFRA]] process:

&lt;br /&gt;
{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="font-size: 85%; border: gray solid 1px; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center; width: 85%"
!style="background: #ececec;"| Length of absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 4 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 5 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 6 months' absence
|-
|Action taken|| attempts to communicate will be made|| warning that removal will occur at 6 months|| Bureaucrat will remove sysops
|}
&lt;br /&gt;

Likewise, in order to maintain their sysop rights administrators are required to make '''at least''' 50 mainspace edits in any six month span, excepting prior explanation of inactivity.

Note that these rules also apply to [[Gaming Library:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] and users with [[Gaming Library:Rollback|Rollback]].

==Other access types==
In addition to administrators, there are other types of identified users, listed here in roughly ascending order of power. (Administrators, clearly, go after users with rollback.)

===Signed-in users===
Users with ordinary access, including visitors who haven't "signed in," can still do most things, including the most important: editing articles and helping with [[Gaming Library:Things to do|Gaming Library maintenance tasks]].

But only signed-up users can [[Gaming Library:Images|upload files]] or [[Help:Moving pages|rename pages]]; see [[Special:UserLogin]] to sign up for yourself.

===Rollback===
Users with the [[Wikipedia:Rollback|rollback]] have the ability to use and have a rollback button without making them administrators. The rollback button is a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism.

===Bureaucrats===
Users with "[[Gaming Library:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]" status can turn other users into sysops. Bureaucrats are created by other bureaucrats on projects where these exist, or by Shoutwiki staff on those who don't yet have one. Sysoppings are recorded in [[Special:Log/rights]].

===Staff===
Some Shoutwiki staff members have full access to all wikis. They will be shown in [[Special:ListUsers/staff]] on any wiki. Please see [[Special:Contact|contact us]] for details on how to contact Shoutwiki staff.

'''Administrators''' are [[Gaming Library]]ns who have "''sysop rights''".
Current [[Gaming Library]] policy is to appoint new admins when it is felt that the current number of admins is insufficient. Administrators are chosen from Gaming Library contributors who are active and who have been around for a while and are generally known and trusted members of the community.

'''This page is currently undergoing workification to remove links to Wikipedia and Wookieepedia and associate more links with this wiki.'''

==[[Special:ListUsers/sysop|List of administrators]]==

===Bureaucrats===

===Administrators===


==So, what's the deal?==
The Wiki software has a few important features that are restricted. Of those restricted features, administrators have access to the following.

===Protected pages===
*Directly edit [[:Category:Protected|protected pages]]. 
*Protect and unprotect pages. Pages are only protected in certain rare circumstances.

===Reverting===
*[[s:Help:Reverting|Revert]] pages quickly. Any user (logged-in or not) can revert a page to an earlier version.  Administrators have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism by anonymous editors.  When looking at a user's contributions, a link that looks like: [&lt;span style="color:#002bb8; text-decoration:underline"&gt;rollback&lt;/span&gt;] &amp;ndash; appears next to edits that are at the top of the edit history. Clicking on the link reverts to the last edit not authored by that user, with [[Wikipedia:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] ''(Reverted edits by X (Talk); changed back to last version by Y)'' and marks it as a minor change. In a fairly recent change, admins can also rapidly revert changes when viewing a diff.

===Hiding vandalism from recent changes===
*Sysops can hide vandalism from [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]. To do this, add &lt;tt&gt;&amp;bot=1&lt;/tt&gt; to the end of the URL used to access a user's contributions. For example, &lt;nowiki&gt;http://en.Wookieepedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&amp;target=Michael&amp;bot=1&lt;/nowiki&gt;. When the rollback links on the contributions list are clicked, the revert and the original edit that you are reverting will both be hidden from the default recent changes display (by using the marker originally added to keep massive bot edits from flooding recent changes, hence the "bot").  This means that they will be hidden from recent changes unless you click the "bots" link to set &lt;tt&gt;hidebots=0&lt;/tt&gt;. The edits are not hidden from contributions lists, page histories or watchlists. The edits remain in the database and are not removed, but they no longer flood recent changes. The aim of this feature is to reduce the annoyance factor of a flood vandal with relatively little effort. This should '''not''' be used for reverting a change you just don't like, but is meant only for simple vandalism, particularly massive flood vandalism.

===Block and unblock===
* Block IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts, for a specific time, or indefinitely.
* Unblock IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.

===Design and wording of the interface===
* As of December 6, 2003, sysops can change the ''text'' of the interface by editing the pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. This includes the text at the top of pages such as the "Special:WhatLinksHere" and the page that a blocked user will see when they try to edit a page ([[MediaWiki:Blockedtext]]).
* As of June 3, 2004, sysops can edit the ''style'' of the interface by changing the [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] in the monobook stylesheet at [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]].

When looking at a user's contributions, a link that looks like: [&lt;span style="color:#002bb8; text-decoration:underline"&gt;rollback&lt;/span&gt;] &amp;ndash; appears next to edits that are at the top of the edit history. Clicking on the link reverts to the last edit not authored by that user, with [[Wikipedia:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] ''(Reverted edits by X (Talk); changed back to last version by Y)'' and marks it as a minor change. In a fairly recent change, admins can also rapidly revert changes when viewing a diff.

===Hiding vandalism from recent changes===
*Sysops can hide vandalism from [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]. To do this, add &lt;tt&gt;&amp;bot=1&lt;/tt&gt; to the end of the URL used to access a user's contributions. For example, &lt;nowiki&gt;http://en.Wookieepedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&amp;target=Michael&amp;bot=1&lt;/nowiki&gt;. When the rollback links on the contributions list are clicked, the revert and the original edit that you are reverting will both be hidden from the default recent changes display (by using the marker originally added to keep massive bot edits from flooding recent changes, hence the "bot").  This means that they will be hidden from recent changes unless you click the "bots" link to set &lt;tt&gt;hidebots=0&lt;/tt&gt;. The edits are not hidden from contributions lists, page histories or watchlists. The edits remain in the database and are not removed, but they no longer flood recent changes. The aim of this feature is to reduce the annoyance factor of a flood vandal with relatively little effort. This should '''not''' be used for reverting a change you just don't like, but is meant only for simple vandalism, particularly massive flood vandalism.

===Block and unblock===
* Block IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts, for a specific time, or indefinitely.
* Unblock IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.

===Design and wording of the interface===
* As of December 6, 2003, sysops can change the ''text'' of the interface by editing the pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. This includes the text at the top of pages such as the "Special:WhatLinksHere" and the page that a blocked user will see when they try to edit a page ([[MediaWiki:Blockedtext]]).
* As of June 3, 2004, sysops can edit the ''style'' of the interface by changing the [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] in the monobook stylesheet at [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]].

===Consensus Track===
With regards to the process of [[Gaming Library:Help Desk|Help Desk]] forums which are discussed and debated among the entire community, it is the responsibility of administrators both to provide input on consensus track threads, as well as closing the threads when they are finished.

Two weeks is provided as a minimum time frame for thread length, though a thread should only be closed if it is clear that a consensus has been reached, or if no consensus has been reached and the thread has not been edited by a vote-eligible Gaming Libraryns in five days after at least two weeks of being active. Also, for threads closed by section (some of the MOS ones, for example), each section would have to be dormant for five days after a minimum of two weeks in order to be closed, not necessarily the entire forum. If that makes sense. These length guidelines do not apply to CSD threads. This lack of activity and consensus is an indication that a community agreement is not forthcoming. Should a thread be closed, it is the responsibility of the administration to properly address the result of the thread and apply it to the site and its policies as need be.

For consensus to be achieved, a minimum of ten Gaming Libraryns must contribute a vote or statement. Consensus track threads with 10-16 voters will need a 3 to 1 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with 17 to 24 voters will need a 5 to 2 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with more than 25 votes can be passed by a 2:1 ratio of votes/opinions posted on the thread.

Additionally, it is regarded as bad form and against proper practice to close a consensus track thread in which an individual administrator has been heavily involved, though all consensus track closings fall under administrative discretion.

===Responsibilities===
Administrators should keep an eye on the following pages to help keep the wiki "cleaned up" and running the way it should.  Administrators are expected to play an active role in helping out on any or all of these pages.

*'''[[Special:LonelyPages|Orphaned pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedCategories|Uncategorized categories]]'''
*'''[[Special:UnusedFiles|Unused images]]'''
*'''[[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:Deadendpages|Dead-end pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:NewPages|New pages]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for compliance with [[Wookieepedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]
*'''[[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for vandalism; ban appropriately

==Becoming an administrator==
It's recommended that you write for Gaming Library for at least seven months before requesting administrator status, since other users will have to recognize you before they can agree on your promotion. As part of the rulings decided at [[Gaming Library:CT Archive/Admin Age]] all potential candidates are required to be either of adult age (18+) or have at least one and a half years' experience of consistent, quality editing to the site. Underaged candidates will be removed and not considered if they try to apply for sysop access. 

'''Be careful, please!'''
If you are granted access, we ask that you exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history, to delete images, and the ability to block IP addresses. You can learn about your newfound powers at the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' how-to guide]]'''. You should also take a look at the pages linked from the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' reading list|Administrators' reading list]]''' before using any of your sysop abilities.

'''Note: Abusive admins will have his/her rights removed immediately if they don't follow policy and is abusive to fellow contributors. You will not receive any further warnings if users complain nor will the right be returned.'''

==Extended leaves of absence==
In the event that an administrator enter into a protracted absence from the wiki, some form of explanation, be it even a simple "I'm taking a break", is desired. In the absence of any explanation, if an administrator does not edit or use admin tools for four months or more, the following steps are to be taken outside of the [[Gaming Library:Requests for removal of user rights|RFRA]] process:

&lt;br /&gt;
{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="font-size: 85%; border: gray solid 1px; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center; width: 85%"
!style="background: #ececec;"| Length of absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 4 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 5 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 6 months' absence
|-
|Action taken|| attempts to communicate will be made|| warning that removal will occur at 6 months|| Bureaucrat will remove sysops
|}
&lt;br /&gt;

Likewise, in order to maintain their sysop rights administrators are required to make '''at least''' 50 mainspace edits in any six month span, excepting prior explanation of inactivity.

Note that these rules also apply to [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] and users with [[Wikipedia:Rollback|Rollback]].

==Other access types==
In addition to administrators, there are other types of identified users, listed here in roughly ascending order of power. (Administrators, clearly, go after users with rollback.)

===Signed-in users===
Users with ordinary access, including visitors who haven't "signed in," can still do most things, including the most important: editing articles and helping with [[Gaming Library:Things to do|Gaming Library maintenance tasks]].

But only signed-up users can [[Wikipedia:Images|upload files]] or [[Wikipedia:Help:Moving pages|rename pages]]; see [[Special:UserLogin]] to sign up for yourself.

===Rollback===
Users with the [[Wikipedia:Rollback|rollback]] have the ability to use and have a rollback button without making them administrators. The rollback button is a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism.

===Bureaucrats===
Users with "[[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]" status can turn other users into sysops. Bureaucrats are created by other bureaucrats on projects where these exist, or by Shoutwiki staff on those who don't yet have one. Sysoppings are recorded in [[Special:Log/rights]].

===Staff===
Some Shoutwiki staff members have full access to all wikis. They will be shown in [[Special:ListUsers/staff]] on any wiki. Please see [[Special:Contact|contact us]] for details on how to contact Shoutwiki staff.

{{Adminnav}}
'''Administrators''' are [[Gaming Library]]ns who have "''sysop rights''".
Current [[Gaming Library]] policy is to appoint new admins when it is felt that the current number of admins is insufficient. Administrators are chosen from Gaming Library contributors who are active and who have been around for a while and are generally known and trusted members of the community.

'''This page is currently undergoing workification to remove links to Wikipedia and Wookieepedia and associate more links with this wiki.'''

==[[Special:ListUsers/sysop|List of administrators]]==

===Bureaucrats===

===Administrators===


==So, what's the deal?==
The Wiki software has a few important features that are restricted. Of those restricted features, administrators have access to the following.

===Protected pages===
*Directly edit [[:Category:Protected|protected pages]]. 
*Protect and unprotect pages. Pages are only protected in certain rare circumstances.

===Reverting===
*[[s:Help:Reverting|Revert]] pages quickly. Any user (logged-in or not) can revert a page to an earlier version.  Administrators have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism by anonymous editors.  When looking at a user's contributions, a link that looks like: [&lt;span style="color:#002bb8; text-decoration:underline"&gt;rollback&lt;/span&gt;] &amp;ndash; appears next to edits that are at the top of the edit history. Clicking on the link reverts to the last edit not authored by that user, with [[Wikipedia:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] ''(Reverted edits by X (Talk); changed back to last version by Y)'' and marks it as a minor change. In a fairly recent change, admins can also rapidly revert changes when viewing a diff.

===Hiding vandalism from recent changes===
*Sysops can hide vandalism from [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]. To do this, add &lt;tt&gt;&amp;bot=1&lt;/tt&gt; to the end of the URL used to access a user's contributions. For example, &lt;nowiki&gt;http://en.Wookieepedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&amp;target=Michael&amp;bot=1&lt;/nowiki&gt;. When the rollback links on the contributions list are clicked, the revert and the original edit that you are reverting will both be hidden from the default recent changes display (by using the marker originally added to keep massive bot edits from flooding recent changes, hence the "bot").  This means that they will be hidden from recent changes unless you click the "bots" link to set &lt;tt&gt;hidebots=0&lt;/tt&gt;. The edits are not hidden from contributions lists, page histories or watchlists. The edits remain in the database and are not removed, but they no longer flood recent changes. The aim of this feature is to reduce the annoyance factor of a flood vandal with relatively little effort. This should '''not''' be used for reverting a change you just don't like, but is meant only for simple vandalism, particularly massive flood vandalism.

===Block and unblock===
* Block IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts, for a specific time, or indefinitely.
* Unblock IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.

===Design and wording of the interface===
* As of December 6, 2003, sysops can change the ''text'' of the interface by editing the pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. This includes the text at the top of pages such as the "Special:WhatLinksHere" and the page that a blocked user will see when they try to edit a page ([[MediaWiki:Blockedtext]]).
* As of June 3, 2004, sysops can edit the ''style'' of the interface by changing the [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] in the monobook stylesheet at [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]].

===Consensus Track===
With regards to the process of [[Gaming Library:Help Desk|Help Desk]] forums which are discussed and debated among the entire community, it is the responsibility of administrators both to provide input on consensus track threads, as well as closing the threads when they are finished.

Two weeks is provided as a minimum time frame for thread length, though a thread should only be closed if it is clear that a consensus has been reached, or if no consensus has been reached and the thread has not been edited by a vote-eligible Gaming Libraryns in five days after at least two weeks of being active. Also, for threads closed by section (some of the MOS ones, for example), each section would have to be dormant for five days after a minimum of two weeks in order to be closed, not necessarily the entire forum. If that makes sense. These length guidelines do not apply to CSD threads. This lack of activity and consensus is an indication that a community agreement is not forthcoming. Should a thread be closed, it is the responsibility of the administration to properly address the result of the thread and apply it to the site and its policies as need be.

For consensus to be achieved, a minimum of ten Gaming Libraryns must contribute a vote or statement. Consensus track threads with 10-16 voters will need a 3 to 1 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with 17 to 24 voters will need a 5 to 2 ratio of votes for passage; consensus track threads with more than 25 votes can be passed by a 2:1 ratio of votes/opinions posted on the thread.

Additionally, it is regarded as bad form and against proper practice to close a consensus track thread in which an individual administrator has been heavily involved, though all consensus track closings fall under administrative discretion.

===Responsibilities===
Administrators should keep an eye on the following pages to help keep the wiki "cleaned up" and running the way it should.  Administrators are expected to play an active role in helping out on any or all of these pages.

*'''[[Special:LonelyPages|Orphaned pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedPages|Uncategorized pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:UncategorizedCategories|Uncategorized categories]]'''
*'''[[Special:UnusedFiles|Unused images]]'''
*'''[[Special:WantedPages|Wanted pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:Deadendpages|Dead-end pages]]'''
*'''[[Special:NewPages|New pages]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for compliance with [[Wookieepedia:Manual of Style|Manual of Style]]
*'''[[Special:RecentChanges|Recent changes]]''' &amp;mdash; Watch for vandalism; ban appropriately

==Becoming an administrator==
It's recommended that you write for Gaming Library for at least seven months before requesting administrator status, since other users will have to recognize you before they can agree on your promotion. As part of the Gaming Library House Rules all potential candidates '''must be''' of adult age (18+) if a candidate does not reveal his/her real age and had lied on the review process the user will be banned permanently. Underaged candidates will be removed and not considered if they try to apply for sysop access. 

'''Be careful, please!'''
If you are granted access, we ask that you exercise care in using these functions, especially the ability to delete pages and their history, to delete images, and the ability to block IP addresses. You can learn about your newfound powers at the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' how-to guide]]'''. You should also take a look at the pages linked from the '''[[Gaming Library:Administrators' reading list|Administrators' reading list]]''' before using any of your sysop abilities.

'''Note: Abusive admins will have his/her rights removed immediately if they don't follow policy and is abusive to fellow contributors. You will not receive any further warnings if users complain nor will the right be returned.'''

==Extended leaves of absence==
In the event that an administrator enter into a protracted absence from the wiki, some form of explanation, be it even a simple "I'm taking a break", is desired. In the absence of any explanation, if an administrator does not edit or use admin tools for four months or more, the following steps are to be taken outside of the [[Gaming Library:Requests for removal of user rights|RFRA]] process:

&lt;br /&gt;
{| border="1" cellpadding="1" cellspacing="0" align="center" style="font-size: 85%; border: gray solid 1px; border-collapse: collapse; text-align: center; width: 85%"
!style="background: #ececec;"| Length of absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 4 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 5 months' absence
!style="background: #ececec;"| 6 months' absence
|-
|Action taken|| attempts to communicate will be made|| warning that removal will occur at 6 months|| Bureaucrat will remove sysops
|}
&lt;br /&gt;

Likewise, in order to maintain their sysop rights administrators are required to make '''at least''' 50 mainspace edits in any six month span, excepting prior explanation of inactivity.

Note that these rules also apply to [[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrats]] and users with [[Wikipedia:Rollback|Rollback]].

==Other access types==
In addition to administrators, there are other types of identified users, listed here in roughly ascending order of power. (Administrators, clearly, go after users with rollback.)

===Signed-in users===
Users with ordinary access, including visitors who haven't "signed in," can still do most things, including the most important: editing articles and helping with [[Gaming Library:Things to do|Gaming Library maintenance tasks]].

But only signed-up users can [[Wikipedia:Images|upload files]] or [[Wikipedia:Help:Moving pages|rename pages]]; see [[Special:UserLogin]] to sign up for yourself.

===Rollback===
Users with the [[Wikipedia:Rollback|rollback]] have the ability to use and have a rollback button without making them administrators. The rollback button is a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism.

===Bureaucrats===
Users with "[[Wikipedia:Bureaucrats|bureaucrat]]" status can turn other users into sysops. Bureaucrats are created by other bureaucrats on projects where these exist, or by Shoutwiki staff on those who don't yet have one. Sysoppings are recorded in [[Special:Log/rights]].

===Staff===
Some Shoutwiki staff members have full access to all wikis. They will be shown in [[Special:ListUsers/staff]] on any wiki. Please see [[Special:Contact|contact us]] for details on how to contact Shoutwiki staff.

'''Administrators''' are [[Gaming Library]]ns who have "''sysop rights''".
Current [[Gaming Library]] policy is to appoint new admins when it is felt that the current number of admins is insufficient. Administrators are chosen from Gaming Library contributors who are active and who have been around for a while and are generally known and trusted members of the community.

'''This page is currently undergoing workification to remove links to Wikipedia and Wookieepedia and associate more links with this wiki.'''

==[[Special:ListUsers/sysop|List of administrators]]==

===Stewards===
* [[User:FederalPrime|FederalPrime]] -- Founder

===Bureaucrats===
* [[User:FederalPrime|FederalPrime]] -- Founder

===Administrators===
* [[User:FederalPrime|FederalPrime]] -- Founder

==So, what's the deal?==
The Wiki software has a few important features that are restricted. Of those restricted features, administrators have access to the following.

===Protected pages===
*Directly edit [[:Category:Protected|protected pages]]. 
*Protect and unprotect pages. Pages are only protected in certain rare circumstances.

===Reverting===
*[[s:Help:Reverting|Revert]] pages quickly. Any user (logged-in or not) can revert a page to an earlier version.  Administrators have a faster, automated reversion tool to help them revert vandalism by anonymous editors.  When looking at a user's contributions, a link that looks like: [&lt;span style="color:#002bb8; text-decoration:underline"&gt;rollback&lt;/span&gt;] &amp;ndash; appears next to edits that are at the top of the edit history. Clicking on the link reverts to the last edit not authored by that user, with [[Wikipedia:Help:Edit summary|edit summary]] ''(Reverted edits by X (Talk); changed back to last version by Y)'' and marks it as a minor change. In a fairly recent change, admins can also rapidly revert changes when viewing a diff.

===Hiding vandalism from recent changes===
*Sysops can hide vandalism from [[Special:RecentChanges|recent changes]]. To do this, add &lt;tt&gt;&amp;bot=1&lt;/tt&gt; to the end of the URL used to access a user's contributions. For example, &lt;nowiki&gt;http://en.Wookieepedia.org/w/wiki.phtml?title=Special:Contributions&amp;target=Michael&amp;bot=1&lt;/nowiki&gt;. When the rollback links on the contributions list are clicked, the revert and the original edit that you are reverting will both be hidden from the default recent changes display (by using the marker originally added to keep massive bot edits from flooding recent changes, hence the "bot").  This means that they will be hidden from recent changes unless you click the "bots" link to set &lt;tt&gt;hidebots=0&lt;/tt&gt;. The edits are not hidden from contributions lists, page histories or watchlists. The edits remain in the database and are not removed, but they no longer flood recent changes. The aim of this feature is to reduce the annoyance factor of a flood vandal with relatively little effort. This should '''not''' be used for reverting a change you just don't like, but is meant only for simple vandalism, particularly massive flood vandalism.

===Block and unblock===
* Block IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts, for a specific time, or indefinitely.
* Unblock IP addresses, IP ranges, and user accounts.

===Design and wording of the interface===
* As of December 6, 2003, sysops can change the ''text'' of the interface by editing the pages in the [[Help:MediaWiki namespace|MediaWiki namespace]]. This includes the text at the top of pages such as the "Special:WhatLinksHere" and the page that a blocked user will see when they try to edit a page ([[MediaWiki:Blockedtext]]).
* As of June 3, 2004, sysops can edit the ''style'' of the interface by changing the [[Wikipedia:Cascading Style Sheets|CSS]] in the monobook stylesheet at [[MediaWiki:Monobook.css]].

===Consensus Track===
With regards to the process of [[Gaming Library:Help Desk|Help Desk]] forums which are discussed and debated among the entire community, it is the responsibility of administrators both to provide input on consensus track threads, as well as closing the threads when they are finished.

'''Admins do not have "command authority" in the sense that some imagine'''. They can draw a line based on policies, norms and judgement, and enforce that line with the tools. They often have good insight and suggestions to users, and they should be good at gaining others' co-operation and working with people. But they do not, ever, act as "managers" to people in the business sense. They implement policies which the community in broad has agreed upon. Thus for example:

:* ''They do not "decide what people see"''. An admin who deletes a page can only do so under circumstances the community has decided: in accordance with the communal decision. They are implementers—they do not decide the policy. Likewise admins implement a standard of editorship and use of blocking and protection which has already gained consensus via a discussion (in which admins have absolutely no special authority of any kind).

:* ''They do not need to know how "everything works"''. They need to know enough not to misuse what they touch, and to conduct themselves well. The emphasis is on "''not making mistakes''", not on "''doing it all''". Users do things, admins just handle the few exceptions where for practical reasons we don't let every new user do so. Even very experienced admins—including those elected to higher positions than admin—usually don't know how ''everything'' works.

:* ''Admins are users that the community trusts'' to operate the tools. If an admin goes for a year without making an edit, it doesn't necessarily have an impact on their trustworthiness when they return to editing. Hence an admin's obligation isn't to "do" any specific role; rather, to act responsibly if or when they do take action.

:* ''Admins should gain broad respect'', but frankly no user is obligated to respect or listen to them (it's not a requirement of editing), and many will not. Blocking is not merely a tool to be used instead of talking to people.

High standards are needed, but many people will have misconceptions of what it is that admins actually do. Mostly, admins are:
# users the community have chosen based on experience and trust.
# users who have consistently good standards on general conduct as editors.
# users who are allowed to act as custodians of the tools that for pragmatic reasons need to be restricted in access (due to the presence of many people on the Internet who would use them for purposes that don't help the project).
# users who are trusted to only use the tools provided to enact a decision within the standards that the community has decided, and not otherwise.

== More specifically==

===&lt;span id="TROPHY" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;Adminship is not a trophy===
{{shortcut|WP:ANOT#TROPHY|WP:TROPHY}}
Administrator status does not place you in an elevated status within Gaming Library It is not the user-equivalent of a good article or featured article. Administrators rapidly find they have no extra sway in policy or other decisions because of an RfP. It does not affirm a user's contributions as an editor and is not an award for good editing or other good service. You will not gain respect simply by being an administrator. It may help to consider the other meaning of the word administrator, that is one who facilitates, rather than one who controls.

Adminship is simply a statement that the individual is a normal user whom the community views as likely to use the extra tools responsibly if allowed access to them. An admin is just a normal user with a mop and a bucket. It certainly does ''not'' give you any Sergeant-like authority.

===&lt;span id="ENTITLEMENT" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;Adminship is not an entitlement===
{{shortcut|WP:ANOT#ENTITLEMENT}}
High edit counts and a dedication to Gaming Library often demonstrate reliability and aptitude for adminship. However, candidates with high edit counts sometimes fail to pass a [[Gaming Library:Requests for permissions|Request for permission]], because RfP is about a user's approach and ''attitudes'', not about "how much they do". This is not personal; it does not mean that the community fails to appreciate your contributions. A number of exceptional editors are not admins and will never be, some through choice, some through communal consensus. A number of admins regularly ask to drop their adminship, to leave behind administrative chores and get back to editing instead. Sometimes good contributors simply do not have the proper temperament to be admins; but they are still valuable. No number of edits or length of time on Gaming Libary entitles one to adminship.

===&lt;span id="IMMUNITY" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;Adminship is not diplomatic immunity===
{{shortcut|WP:ANOT#IMMUNITY}}
Every administrator must keep in mind that admins are tools of Gaming Library as a whole. This means that all policies apply to admins just as they do to any user—if not more so. Admins can be readily blocked, stripped of their admin tools, or banned. Admins must follow all of Gaming Library policies and uphold consensus and a neutral point of view.</text>

:* ''Admins should gain broad respect'', but frankly no user is obligated to respect or listen to them (it's not a requirement of editing), and many will not. Blocking is not merely a tool to be used instead of talking to people.

High standards are needed, but many people will have misconceptions of what it is that admins actually do. Mostly, admins are:
# users the community have chosen based on experience and trust.
# users who have consistently good standards on general conduct as editors.
# users who are allowed to act as custodians of the tools that for pragmatic reasons need to be restricted in access (due to the presence of many people on the Internet who would use them for purposes that don't help the project).
# users who are trusted to only use the tools provided to enact a decision within the standards that the community has decided, and not otherwise.

== More specifically==

===&lt;span id="TROPHY" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;Adminship is not a trophy===
{{shortcut|WP:ANOT#TROPHY|WP:TROPHY}}
Administrator status does not place you in an elevated status within Gaming Library It is not the user-equivalent of a good article or featured article. Administrators rapidly find they have no extra sway in policy or other decisions because of an RfP. It does not affirm a user's contributions as an editor and is not an award for good editing or other good service. You will not gain respect simply by being an administrator. It may help to consider the other meaning of the word administrator, that is one who facilitates, rather than one who controls.

Adminship is simply a statement that the individual is a normal user whom the community views as likely to use the extra tools responsibly if allowed access to them. An admin is just a normal user with a mop and a bucket. It certainly does ''not'' give you any Sergeant-like authority.

===&lt;span id="ENTITLEMENT" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;Adminship is not an entitlement===
{{shortcut|WP:ANOT#ENTITLEMENT}}
High edit counts and a dedication to Gaming Library often demonstrate reliability and aptitude for adminship. However, candidates with high edit counts sometimes fail to pass a [[Gaming Library:Requests for permissions|Request for permission]], because RfP is about a user's approach and ''attitudes'', not about "how much they do". This is not personal; it does not mean that the community fails to appreciate your contributions. A number of exceptional editors are not admins and will never be, some through choice, some through communal consensus. A number of admins regularly ask to drop their adminship, to leave behind administrative chores and get back to editing instead. Sometimes good contributors simply do not have the proper temperament to be admins; but they are still valuable. No number of edits or length of time on Gaming Library entitles one to adminship.

===&lt;span id="IMMUNITY" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;Adminship is not diplomatic immunity===
{{shortcut|WP:ANOT#IMMUNITY}}
Every administrator must keep in mind that admins are tools of Gaming Library as a whole. This means that all policies apply to admins just as they do to any user—if not more so. Admins can be readily blocked, stripped of their admin tools, or banned. Admins must follow all of Gaming Library policies and uphold consensus and a neutral point of view.</text>
